Day 1-2: Begin in Victoria Falls - Palm River Hotel

On arrival at Victoria Falls Airport, your transfer operator will be waiting in arrivals with your name on a sign and will transfer you to the Palm River Hotel. This stunning hotel is built on the banks of the Zambezi River offering river views and as this is all part of the Zambezi National Park you may see crocodiles and hippos in the river and have elephant and game visit you in the hotel grounds. Their food here is delicious and with a complimentary scheduled shuttle you can easily explore the town and falls. There are many activities available and we recommend a sunset cruise, a helicopter flight, and an elephant encounter. There are also rafting bungee jumping, or high-wire activities for thrill seekers. You do not need a guide to see the falls as the paths are clear and well signposted but we can arrange one if you prefer and book any activities.

Day 3-4: Sable Valley - Hwange National Park

Today after breakfast you will be collected and transferred to Victoria Falls Airport for your flight to Hwange where you will be met and transferred on a game drive to the lodge. The lodge is on a private concession adjacent to Hwange National Park but there are no fences so the game is free to move between them. Here you have activities included such as walks game drives night drives on the concession, or game drives into the park. There is also a waterhole in front of the camp with a fantastic photographic hide as well as a viewing platform. We love the food here and the excellent guidance and staff. Hwange is Zimbabwe's largest game park. Its sheer size means that its scenery, vegetation, and game vary hugely, ranging from the semi-desert scrub on the edge of the Kalahari in the south, to forests, granite hills, and valleys of mopane woodlands in the north. The national park is home to over 100 mammal species, including lion, and leopard, and is known for its large population of elephants.
